ROUGH TRADE is more than the recounting of a murder, an investigation, and the prosecution of a suspect. It’s also the story of two people from the seething criminal underworld of Denver, Colorado and how their paths crossed on the streets and in the courtroom. There was Riggan, who was raised in his own private hell that included rape, incest and extreme abuse to become a violent sexual predator. And there was Cordova, who had to summon the courage, and suffer the humiliation, in order to pull herself out of the abyss into which she’d fallen to testify against the man she believed killed her friend. And in doing so, find her own personal redemption.

4.7 Stars on Amazon!

Acclaim for ROUGH TRADE:

“This taut and well-told crime tale does a fine job of getting into the heads of the principal players. JoJo Cordova is a perfect representation of a good person subjected to a dangerous drug addiction can go from being a working police officer to a working prostitute desperate for her next hit of crack. Jackson writes with clarity and precision, and never strays into schmaltzy emotion when describing the horrors of these “rough trade” lifestyles. He writes with compassion but by no means does he glorify or excuse the criminality here. He offers understanding. And in the world of true crime, what better goal can a book have?”–New York Times bestselling author Anthony Flacco

“Another great book, from the author Steve Jackson. I was engrossed in the story as soon as I started reading it. This book was extremely well researched. The story of not only a poor young lady who fell into the clutches of drugs then prostitution, then an evil man, who would ultimately murder her, but the story goes deeper into the lives of another woman who spiraled from being a police officer into the same life of drugs and prostitution, but ultimately, instead of being a murder victim, was a huge help in bringing the evil murderer to justice. And a story about what leads people down those paths (drugs, murder etc). This book even showed how many people and how much work goes into putting a criminal behind bars.” – msmad2009 for Amazon, Five-Star Review
